Scott Poole) Plenty of work and plenty of work ers, but no work being done is a rather strange condition of affairs. Folks seem not to want to work. Tiir.e was when it was considered honorable to labor, unprofitably at first, but after an apprentiship the compensation was greater. The great men of the world once boasted of their meager earnings at the start. Folks once began at the bottom and worked up. Now they expect to begin at the top and not work at any time. So they get, they think, nothing of that they earn. That's Communism. James A. Garfield cut one hun dred cords of two ' foot wood for 25 cents. His father said, "James, you cannot do that," and James said, 'Yes I can father, I said I would." He was later President of the United States. A dog seems to appreciate kind ness and shows that he appreciates kindaess, but there are people all about you who will take all you have in the world and give no expression of any gratitude. I think I can say with Daniel Web- ster: "I love try country. May it ever be the brightest star in the constel- lation of nations. May it ever be mild placid orb making its way athwart the whole heaven to the en lighting of mankind, and not a mete or fire and blood terrifying the na tions." He who does not love his country more than he loves his own life should not be allowed citizen ship in this the greatest country on earth. I remember back when it was the boast of we boys when we did an unusually big day's work, to cut and split 200 ten and one half foot rails was a man s task. I remem ber picking 25 bushels of peas in the hull, about 250 pounds; or shoe ing ten or twenty head of mules in a day; or doing all possible to do in each and every day was praiseworthy. Now idleness is the boast of a worth less 6et. There are not easy places for all the population of this great country but we should have men who will not hesitate to accePt the hard tasks and, like true Spartans, do the tasks assigned. "Nor murmur nor com plain." Socialism is impractical. If you, reader, work hard, save your earn ings, do without things you would enjoy and get together money to buy an automobile, and I spend my earn ings on riotous living, should I share that automobile equally with you? The United States is the greatest success in democratic government that the world has ever known. I remember when Jay Gould, A. P. Stuart and Commodore Vanderbilt were pinhooking around. But each increased his business as fast as he made money to do this and tiles'? three men were the first millionaires in this country. They accumulated " riches much faster after thev had a hes much laser after they had a uiuiiLni-uuudr ami u rvuvuuuv win. 1 Strikers are not the worst thing about the present situation. It is the spirit of the striker. He surely , I does not do this because he loves. He, 'does not show interest in his neigh-! ibor. Their employers were one day 'laborers as the strikers were. There are two classes of workers the world over: Those who spend all as fast as they make it, or a little faster and those who save a portion of their earnings. The first class blow all they have on each Satur day night; the other class put all they can spare in the savings bank. Some never get where they can save any from their earnings be cause of conditions. There may be an excuse for poverty. There are those, and there have been such since I was a child, who believe in redistribution of the wealth of this country. There are some rich and many very poor. I believe every man is the architect of his own for tune. Were the wealth of the United States redistributed today it would need scmething done to it tomorrow. It would be off balance that soon. I fear for the future of our great country for it takes work and not dollars to set on the highway to prosperity.

M. 0 IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE IN THE KETCS-JOl'RVAL Hoke Girls Win; Boys Lose To Red Springs The girls' basketball team of the Hoke County high school more than doubled the score in winning fro:r Red Springs high school in Red Springs last Friday night. High scorer for the game was McNeill or Hoke High with 18 points. McMa- nus was best for Red Springs with 5. The play of the Raeford guards was outstanding during the last half when they held Red Springs to points. In the boys' game the home team nosed out the Hoke County boys by the close score of 28 to 27. Wood with 16 points led the winners while W. Clark with 10 led the Hoke boys. The score was tied, 13-13 at the half but n ithe third quarter Red Springs ran up a 6-point lead and held on until the last 5 minutes when two field goals and a foul shot brought Raeford within one point. Two Wrecks In County Sunday At nr.nrnximat.plv nine o'clock last Isunday morning the Buick automo- bile being driven south by Oscar a.Denneman, of Long Island, New York, got out of control on the Fay- etteville road near the old McNeill pond about five miles east of Rae ford, left the road, and turned over. The accident was caused by the slippery pavement which had re cently been oiled. With Denneman were his wife and Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Maile, also of Long Island. No serious injuries were suffered, although several of the party were treated here for superficial injuries. The vehicle was seriously damaged. morning the car of Lt. Barry of the ,,.v, -i- tr.
